Join SA’s petition against Eskom price hike

South Africa’s opposition party the Democratic Alliance has set up an online petition against Eskom’s plans to hit consumers with a 19.9% tariff increase.

The party says Eskom has mismanaged its funds for years, “and we as South Africans have carried the burden of their poor financial management.Costs are now spiralling out of control, South Africans can simply not afford these constant increases”.

All South Africans, local or abroad can support the petition by following this link and e-signing it.

The DA says the South African economy is suffering and instead of helping the country create jobs, Eskom acts as a barrier to job creation and economic growth. “Eskom is at the very heart of State Capture, billions of Rands have been wasted or stolen through a series of corrupt activities and corrupt individuals at the entity,” the party says.
